Question
Consider the open feed water heater (FWH) shown in the figure given below: Specific enthalpy of steam at location 2 is 2624 kJ/kg, specific enthalpy of water at location 5 is 226.7 kJ/kg and specific enthalpy of saturated water at location 6 is 708.6 kJ/kg. If the mass flow rate of water entering the open feed water heater (at location 5) is 100 kg/s then the mass flow rate of steam at location 2 will be ___________ kg/s (round off to one decimal place).
Answer :
Correct answer is 25.16
h2 = 2624 kJ/kg, h5 = 226.7 kJ/kg, h6 = 708.6 kJ/kg, m5 = 100 kg/s
m2 h2 + m5 h5 = (m2 + m5) h6
m2 × 2624 + 100 × 226.7 = (m2 + 100) × 708.6
m2 = 25.16 kg/s
